Old Family Photos
Various photos we've found and scanned.
Great Great Grandmother - Caroline Whitten - Cherokee - undated picture and location unknown.
Nimer and Sarah Maloof - 12-31-1948. These are the parents of my grandfather on my Mother's side of the family. We called them Sito and Jido, Arabic for Grandmother and Grandfather. Peoria, IL.
My Grandfather is in the middle and his two older brothers are on each side. He used to tell me how he remembered having this picture taken. He could not stand still enough, so they gave him something to hold. Abraham Maloof, on the left, is the oldest. Mitchell Maloof, the second oldest is on the right. Jid was the third son in the middle and the fourth son is not in the picture. Undated picture Peoria, IL.
This is Jid's Mother with her Mother-in-Law (Jid's Dad's Mother). Her name was Raje (sp? Rachel) Murad. Undated picture. I'm not sure of location, although I do know she lived in Peoria and my grandmother saw her at least into the 1930s since she and my grandfather were married in 1936.

Jid and his brothers as kids. Hey, isn't it great when parents dress their kids in the same clothes! (please note that the previous sentence should be read with a sarcastic tone).
